Re: What color blush is best for spring?

I second the recommendation for NARS Sex Appeal! It's my hands-down favorite blush and the first I've ever hit pan on. It's the perfect pale peachy pink for fair skin. It looks so natural you'd have to try really hard to overdo it!

roxystar4----I love it too, its super super gorgeous, so pigmented and you get a TON of product. I don't think anyone gives you as much product as cargo does. Lasts all day on me, and its so tightly packed in there that no "dust" comes off at all when I use a brush in there. Sephora no longer carries the line *mumbles angrily* but its still readily available at other places like ulta or cargo.com.

Re: What color blush is best for spring?

I have a light cool complexion and I have made some new blush purchases that I really like. None of these are glittery or have a lot of shimmer.

The UD Naked Flushed cheek palette is really nice. The bronzer, blush and highlighter are all "just right" and work with just about any other makeup colors I am using. You can use each on it's own or swirl it together.

I wanted something that would work with the lilac and lavender shades of makeup that I recently purchased and a Sephora cast member recommended Smashbox Soft Lights in Prism. The color is a soft pink with a blue undertones. It is not a bright color but it's nicely pigmented so it doesn't fade into my skin.

If you like cream blush, Urban Decay makes a great shade called Quickie. The bright pink color looks intense in the compact but it goes on somewhat sheer and gives a natural flush of color and blends well.

Two Nars colors that I love all year round are Amour and Mata Hari. Amour is a peachy pink but has no shimmer like Orgasm. Mata Hari is a rich rose petal pink with blue undertones. It may look dark in the compact but it looks beautiful on a light complexion.

As far as I am concerned, the only thing better than these blushes is these blushes topped with some Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder. My personal spring favorites have been Ethereal and Mood.

Re: What color blush is best for spring?

I love a wash of bright color on cheeks in the spring and summer time - peachy pinks, rose tones, and corals. I also am a fan of products that are easy to apply, especially on the go, and transition well into the warm weather.

For a traditional powder, I've always been a fan of Benefit's boxed powders. I'm a huge fan of Bella Bamba, but for a fair skinned complexion I've heard wonderful things about Coralista.

For something on-the-go, I've recently become a fan of Stila's Convertible Color. You can use it on lips or cheeks, although I am more partial to using it as a cheek color. I have the color Peony, which is a nice nude-pink. But I think Petunia would be a beautiful warm weather color
